Introduction

 

Presented by Kandan Kathirvel, Sana Tariq

Overview of project Nephio, its targets and relation to other industry activities, open source or standardisation. This presentation discusses what Nephio is, motivation to launch the project, what are the problems it aims to solve. It also explains the way the project is organized, the journey thus far and the plans going forward.

Infrastructure Automation

 

Presented by Sandeep Sharma, Amar Kapadia

Nephio is an intent-driven cloud-native automation platform which can automate the Infrastructure, workload and day N configuration of the workloads.

In this topic, we will explore how Nephio can be used to perform the following,

  • Create Kubernetes clusters in the cloud provider platform of your choice.

  • Specify basic properties of the cluster like regions/zones, cluster size, etc., using high-level intent.

  • Continuous reconciliation of the Infrastructure intent specified by the user.

  • Preparation of the cluster for workload automation. 

Release Delivery

 

Presented by Stephen Wong, Tina Tsou

Leveraging EMCO Code to Accelerate Nephio

 

Presented by Amar Kapadia, Sandeep Sharma, Nadathur Sundar, Piotr Matysiak

EMCO has broken new ground with a number of innovations. However, it is in maintenance mode. In this session we want to explore if any of the code can be used to accelerate Nephio. Some ideas are:

  • Placement controller

  • Istio controller

  • HPA (hardware placement awareness) controller

  • Temporal workflow controller

  • Helm parsing

Configuration Management

 

Presented by Sandeep Sharma, Vivekanandan Muthukrishnan

In this presentation we will go over the following,

  • A controller(or multiple controllers) to serve declarative API for PNF configuration and management. 

  •  

    • Controller will create PNF device CRs, which define the PNF, its properties and connectivity information. 

  • CRD definition for PNF configuration, this will be the PNF configuration intent.

  • PNF configuration(data) management.

  •  

    • Vendor releases/updates configuration data, example yang models to the Nephio PNF catalog repo. 

    • Continuous reconciliation of the configuration data in all the sites. Leverage the existing tools i.e porch, configSync etc. 

  • Support for different protocols i.e NETCONF, RESTCONF.

  • PNF configuration discovery to support Plug and play of PNFs.

Nephio Use Cases and Defining Release Contents

 

Sana Tariq, Kaushik Bhandankar

Here we present the use cases discussed so far in Nephio community, and the planned contents of the first release, as well as what will be in the pipeline for subsequent releases.
